Excellent & throrough demonstration, well done

Great video and timing. I have been struggling with that last week. This will save me a lot of time in the coming week ;-)

Day 171 of asking for proper Dark Mode in Fusion

How messy is using configurations with manufacturing, specifically machining, in mind?

Derive seems powerful, but I'm just more cofused watching this than when I started. because of the sheer amount of things to keep in mind. Fusion is almost too freeform about how users grab and move around data and link files, and doesn't even attempt to guide users towards some kind of data discipline. I would say usually more options is better but sometimes it's too many options when they all appear to do the same thing but the nuances are small but significant and not things that can be easily corrected after the fact. You gotta know exactly how to go about things before starting instead of figuring it out as you go. And for software targeted ostensibly towards the new and less experienced users, it seems the be counter to that objective. The more I learn about Fusion, the more I'm spending way too much time managing data organization and trying to read the tea leaves to understand whether I'm in the 'correct' state to do a specific task, and not enough on just making models. At least back with Inventor it was either a part, or an assembly, and it was pretty clear which was which and which rules applied.

Alternative title: How to _not_ break your design using Derive. What's the purpose of having these other options if they only serve to give you grief? At least, this is _my_ takeaway from this vid.

Fusion's buggier than wine programs ran on a Hackintosh with an AMD GPU and incorrect plist files....
